The movie is small and I'd like it within the app, rather than having to download it from the interweb. What it's looking like is that the easiest thing to do is just embed the movie into an HTML5 page and sticking the video in the BT_video folder? Does that sound about right?

Otherwise, the HTML5 is probably a good option. Comments you can use a "Streaming Video" screen (if you're using a v1.5 app). Otherwise, the HTML5 is probably a good option.

Still expanding that. But I really liked some of the features in Jplayer MORE than the ios player. LOVED the banner 'preview' screen for movies Jplayer uses. some good posts here to use jplayer in BT if you search forums.
